Short description
Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
This species is distinguished from other species of O. angorae group by a combination of characters, none unique: decreasing body depth between the dorsal- and caudal-fin bases; depth of the caudal peduncle is 79-87% of the body depth at the anterior-most dorsal fin base; caudal peduncle depth 1.3-1.5 times in its length; head long, its length 24-26% SL; prepelvic length 52-56% SL; belly with small, isolated and embedded scales, usually reaching from between the pelvic fin bases to the midline between the pectoral- and pelvic-fin origins; caudal fin emarginate with middle caudal-fin ray 71-84% of the length of the longest caudal-fin ray; flank with irregularly shaped and set blotches on the flank, forming a mottled or marbled pattern; no depigmented stripe along the anterior part of the lateral line (Ref. 131061).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = No PD50 data [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00741 (0.00354 - 0.01554), b=3.02 (2.85 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 2.8 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
